The game is 32bit DX9 so use the appropriate version of Vulkhan
The game may not launch, to fix this, create a new profile in Nvidia inspector and set
Antialiasing behaviour flags = Disable 'override any application setting'
Antialiasing mode = override any application setting

The reason why you may want to run the game with Vulkhan
- on laptops with dual graphics (in my case hd4000 + gt735m) if the game is not running in exclusive fullscreen mode, it may not fully utilise the dedicated gpu for some reason.
- Vulkhan basically forces full usage of the gpu
- This leads to significantly better performance
- This tweak allowed me to increase res from 720p to 1080p while also getting near locked 60fps where before dropped frames to around 40 were common.
- I was un able to get this game to enter exclusive fullscreen mode
usually to do so I would enter [-window-mode exclusive] into the launch properties.
- exclusive fullscreen games show less hd4000 usage so maybe it allows the gpu to bypass the igpu? I'm not 100% sure on this.

Most unity games do not use exclusive fullscreen and entering [-window-mode exclusive] will significantly boost performance. Vulkhan not necessary
where possible, the original graphics api (open gl, dx etc) will run better than dvxk, but sometimes this is necessary to get around other issues.

I hope these tricks can help others with older/lower end hardware get the most performance possible!

These tricks often help me run games that have minimum requirements higher than this laptop
